we know it has just been announced this last week to be released inbetween Spring 2012 and April 2013,or something like that,i am guessing,hoping that we certainly wont have to wait until Spring 2013 for the game as it will be streamed live at next weeks Gamescom

“The story missions in Borderlands 2 are about three times the scope of a single story mission in the first game. And they twist and turn throughout; your gameplay is changing, your goals are changing… it will be a much more dynamic experience compared to last time.”

Quote

“Lots of fans and critics gave us the business on the story. When we took a look at what we had done last time, we said, ‘we can do way better than that,.”

Yeah….. you read that correctly. Sounds like a lot of changes are being made, a lot of good changes. I hope when they present Borderlands 2 at Gamescom , they show us just how much the missions have improved. Wouldn’t mind seeing a few of those flashy new guns either.. “cough”.

"Borderlands 1 saved your content locally, we’re doing some things we hope on all platforms that allow you to save your content on the cloud so that you never lose content and as long as you can access your account you can be at your friend’s house or whatever and continue playing with your character. We have some more details to talk about there and some things to work out with that there but its an objective we have."

Should you choose to pre-order, the Premiere Club will give you the Gearbox Gun Pack with a collection of unique weapons for kickstarting your new journey through Pandora in style. You'll also get the Golden Key that unlocks a rare item in the mysterious Golden Sanctuary Loot Chest in Borderlands 2. And finally, Premiere Club access will also get you the Vault Hunter's Relic that boosts your gear-hunting fortune, whether you're playing alone or with three buddies in 4-player co-op.

Day one for me as well. I wish they would do the same promo for this that they did on the first, but I kind of doubt the devs would want that headache again though. One if the few games that o have gone back to again and again even though I beat the game a long time ago.

This is going to be playable at PAX East next week. I'm guessing the line will be too long for me to want to play myself, but I'm happy to look over someone's shoulder if I can and check out... whatever it is I should be looking for. (I was interested in the original but never got around to playing it.)

wonderpug do you mind making note of the equipment? not so much the guns - im curious if theyre including more slots for things like armor, shields, "rings" - you know, not once use stuff - paper doll - thats the term!

Playing this for the first time, currently up to level 19 or so (just took down Sledge) playing 3-way co-op with Oscuros and my son. Wasnt really enjoying playing as Roland (just didn't feel useful) but switched to Mordecai and having a blast. The sequel looks great.

People were staying in combat too much for me to get a good look at the paper doll, but I can at least say that the gameplay I saw looked really slick. Teggy may be able to address more specific questions since he actually knew what he was looking at, but yeah, game looked good!

Roland really stands out from the crowd when you realize that the rifle category of guns is actually two different classes of weapons. machine guns and assault rifles to start, plus MG's that fire as fast as SMG's. easy to spec for solo and group really easily.

The Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition (£99.99 on Xbox 360/PS3 or £74.99 on PC) includes all of those items, plus a collectable scaled replica of the red loot chests found throughout Pandora in Borderlands 2; steelbook case; Creatures of Pandora wide-format ID chart; lithograph postcard set; field notes from Sir Hammerlock; cloth map of Pandora; and a numbered certificate of authenticity.
